Museum Archive: Luhr Jensen, 1/2oz spinning lure #14959

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) provides the necessary heft for long-distance casting into deeper runs where larger predators hold. This Luhr Jensen spoon features a "Special Finish" split-tone blade, divided vertically into high-visibility silver and a rich gold-tone. Measuring 2 1/4" (6 cm) in length, the assembly is built on a wire form accented by a single blue bead positioned just above the treble hook. This specimen is unused and remains sealed in its original vintage blister pack, identified by product code 14959. The front of the blade is stamped with the classic Luhr Jensen logo, while a barrel swivel is already rigged to the nose loop. Originating from the Hood River, Oregon facility, the construction emphasizes the durable hardware and heavy-gauge metal used for traditional trolling and casting applications. The back of the mounting card still bears the original barcode sticker and the catalog offer typical of mid-1990s production.
